NCMIC Calls Leadership Conference
The National Chiropractic Mutual Insurance Company (NCMIC) has invited representatives from each of the major chiropractic organizations to meet regarding the top five issues facing the chiropractic profession today. The conference is similar to one held over a decade ago by the nursing profession to consider its future.1
The conference will be held in Chicago, September 20-21, 1996. Two representatives from each of the following groups have been invited to represent the points of view of their respective organizations:
- American Chiropractic Association
- Association of Chiropractic Colleges

- International Chiropractors Association * National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (as an Observer) * World Federation of Chiropractic
The Leadership Conference needs your direction. Please take a moment to jot down what you believe are the five most important problems or issues facing your profession. Feel free to include any pertinent documentation.
